Today is the day that we are all being encouraged to call and check in on a veteran that we know and love. Never assume that those who have served our country are o.k.

It is been statistically proven that 22 veterans a day commit suicide in America. That is why it is so important for all of us to partake in Buddy Check 22.

The great part about the event is that you don’t even have to go anywhere! You can call a veteran on the phone or instant message them on Facebook or other forms of social media.

Taking two minutes out of your busy day, may just save a life. You never know what someone else is going through.

We hope you will take part in this nationwide event and contact a veteran who you are thinking about today and see how they are. You’ll be glad you did and so will they!
